This is the fifth in a series of twenty-four Point file translations. The fileGeometry.Point.ByCoordinates.ds is located in the DesignScript Editor (DSE) Sample files as shown below.

Geometry.PointByCoordinates.ds#5

Open the DS Editor, the resulting script is shown below.

Geometry.PointByCoordinates.ds#5-error

Note in the highlighted green comments. For one, this really is PointsByCoordinates not Points ByCylindricalCoordinates. We are going to uncomment (//) the Replication Guidesoption and generate this script with the Replication Guides. Copy the DS Editor script by highlighting it.

Then open DS Studio, and paste the DSE script into a blank canvas.

Geometry.PointByCoordinates#5

The preliminary translation looks like the canvas shown above and the developed one below.

Geometry.PointByCoordinates#5a

The red and yellow highlighted areas indicate the groupings of nodes according to their properties. Once satisfied that the translation is complete the “Node to Code” operation can take place.

Geometry.PointByCoordinates#5b

The script that results from the operation doesn’t require further editing. The geometry that results from the code(s) is shown below.

Geometry.PointByCoordinates-Windows Graphic

Note that the yellow points are showing the effect of the script run without the replication guides, while the green points with the replication guides enacted.
